Self Portrait, 8 X 11 |
End of summer + Back to School = 0 time to paint
At least that's the way it seems.
When you feel you have no time to paint, try painting smaller. Work on a quarter sheet, a 9-by-12 or a 5-by-7 or even an artist trading card.
If you can carve out only 15 to 30 minutes to paint at a time, you may be more satisfied completing a small painting than you would be with the start-stop process of working on a large painting.
All of the paintings here are "fast" by my standards -- although I admit to being a slow painter. The coffee mug is a 10-minute painting, the self portrait was completed in a little over one hour, and the landscape was a 90-minute outdoor job with a few finishing touches once I got inside.
